Tongue-Tie & Lip-Tie Treatment – Tethered Oral Tissue Treatment in Pearl, MS near Jackson, MS

Helping Your Child Thrive with Gentle, Effective Tongue and Lip Tie Solutions
Hello, I’m Dr. Robert Thornton, DMD, and I specialize in helping infants and children overcome the challenges of tongue and lip ties. These conditions—also known as tethered oral tissues—can significantly impact your child’s ability to nurse, breathe, speak, and grow. As a parent, I know how overwhelming it can feel when your little one is struggling. That’s why I’m here—to guide, support, and empower you every step of the way.

Compassionate Care, Advanced Treatment For Patients in Pearl, MS

I offer gentle, laser-assisted frenectomies using the advanced LightScalpel® LS-1005 Laser System, which allows for precise tissue release with minimal discomfort and fast healing. This simple procedure takes just moments, but the benefits can be life-changing.

Before and after the procedure, I strongly recommend myofunctional therapy—think of it as physical therapy for the mouth. This helps retrain the tongue and oral muscles to function properly, supporting optimal healing and preventing reattachment. It’s an essential part of long-term success.

What You Can Expect:

  • A comprehensive evaluation of your child’s symptoms and needs
  • A quick, minimally invasive frenectomy (if needed)
  • Detailed guidance on wound care and healing exercises
  • Pre- and post-frenectomy myofunctional therapy for best outcomes
  • Ongoing support and education tailored to your family
